Versatile Sword Cultivator
Chapter 337 – At the police station

Such a major incident had already prompted nearby residents and passersby to call the police.

Just as the two were about to call, the police had already arrived.

A few male officers saw the chaotic scene and immediately approached Lin Jichen.

"Did you beat these people up?"

As for Ren Lan standing beside him, they automatically ignored her.

It was obvious that this was a case of men fighting over a woman. These drunkards had their eyes on the beautiful lady, and her boyfriend couldn't stand it and took action.

That had to be it.

This kid's skills were pretty good, but he was a bit too heavy-handed; everyone was bleeding, and the situation was quite serious.

Just as Lin Jichen was about to speak, Ren Lan interjected, "They were drunk and tried to molest me. My boyfriend was just defending me, officer."

Lin Jichen gave Ren Lan a strange look, and she shot him a glance that told him to stay quiet.

So, Lin Jichen decided to play mute.

"Your boyfriend's skills are quite impressive. Has he trained in martial arts?"

"Yes, my boyfriend is amazing." Ren Lan clung to Lin Jichen's arm, her face full of admiration.

"Even though it was self-defense, your boyfriend's actions were a bit excessive. We've called an ambulance. You'll need to come with us to the station and wait for the hospital's report."

Ren Lan panicked upon hearing this, "Please, officer, we're university students. We need to get back to our dorms tonight. If the dorms close, we'll be in big trouble."

"You're university students?"

"Yes, from Jiangling Normal University. Here's my student ID." Ren Lan handed over her student ID.

After checking the ID, the officer still insisted, "Even if you're students, we have to follow procedure. You're adults, and if the injuries are severe, there will be consequences. Let's go. We'll communicate with your school."

At that moment, a police car arrived, and a valiant female officer stepped out.

The female officer had red lips and white teeth, her eyebrows lightly drawn, with no makeup, and her skin was like jade. Her figure was comparable to Ren Lan's, with long legs and a beautiful face, and her police uniform accentuated her impressive stature.

"What happened here?" The female officer frowned as she surveyed the chaotic scene.

"Captain Tang, here's the situation..."

The male officer immediately reported the situation.

After listening, the female officer gave Lin Jichen a surprised look, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

She then looked at the drunkards on the ground with disdain, "Send these men to the hospital, treat their wounds, and then take their statements. Charge them with causing trouble and fighting. Handle it according to the law."

After that, she walked towards Lin Jichen and Ren Lan. Seeing the wound on Lin Jichen's hand, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to him, "Wipe the blood off first."

"Thank you." Lin Jichen took the handkerchief, which had a faint fragrance.

The female officer sternly said to Ren Lan, "Even though your boyfriend acted to save you and it was self-defense, you saw how badly everyone was beaten. We don't know the extent of their injuries yet, so at the very least, we need to take a statement. I'll have a colleague drive you back to school. I'll take your boyfriend to the hospital to treat his wound and then take his statement. I'll bring him back afterward."

Ren Lan hesitated, but Lin Jichen agreed and said to her, "You should go back to school first. Don't worry, I'll be fine. If you don't go back, your parents will find out."

"Alright then." Ren Lan reluctantly agreed and whispered to Lin Jichen, "If they say you used excessive force, just say it was me who did it."

Lin Jichen couldn't help but laugh. To reassure her, he pretended to agree.

Not long after, Ren Lan got into a police car and left, looking back repeatedly.

The ambulance arrived, and Lin Jichen got into one and went to a nearby hospital.

After professional treatment at the hospital, Lin Jichen's hand was bandaged. When he came out of the medical room, the female officer was waiting for him.

"The results are out. Those thugs aren't seriously injured. Two have mild concussions, and a few have broken noses. Nothing too serious. You're free to go, but you need to come to the station to give a statement."

Lin Jichen nodded, sent a message to Gu Qiuxue and Ren Lan, and then got into the female officer's car, heading to the police station.

On the way, Lin Jichen stared out the window, lost in thought.

The female officer curiously asked, "Young man, have you trained in martial arts?"

Lin Jichen smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I didn't beat up all those people. Most of them were... my girlfriend's doing."

"Your girlfriend? She knows martial arts?"

"Yes, I can't even beat her."

The female officer chuckled and teased, "Then you must be under her thumb. Better not make her angry in the future."

Lin Jichen rolled his eyes, "Just because I can't beat her doesn't mean I'll be under her thumb. Even if I could beat her, I wouldn't want to hurt my girlfriend."

The female officer nodded approvingly, "Well said. You have a good mindset, young man."

Lin Jichen wondered if he should explain that he and Ren Lan weren't actually a couple.

But he thought, since they were just passing acquaintances, there was no need to explain.

The car arrived at the police station, and the female officer took Lin Jichen's statement. When she saw his name, she paused.

"Why does this name sound so familiar?"

Lin Jichen was startled, thinking, could it be that this officer also plays "Tale of Immortal"?

"I remember now. During the Zifeng Community kidnapping case, I saw this name."

The female officer became alert, and her gaze towards Lin Jichen lost its previous warmth.

Lin Jichen's heart skipped a beat. Was he being mistaken for a kidnapper?

The female officer quickly checked the records and found it was a false alarm.

"Sorry, I misunderstood. Your name is the same as the owner of the house where the victim lived. Hope I didn't scare you," she apologized.

Lin Jichen shook his head, thinking that the Zifeng Community kidnapping case was the one involving Xu Zikuai. He hadn't realized it was still unresolved.

"Has the case been closed?" Lin Jichen asked.

The female officer sighed, "We've identified the kidnappers and are in the process of apprehending them, but they've gone into hiding. They haven't resurfaced, but they won't get away. Once they show up, the Skynet system will lock onto them immediately, and they'll be caught no matter where they run."

Lin Jichen felt relieved. Those people probably wouldn't show up for years.

Indeed, in this day and age, anyone daring to commit a crime in China would face severe consequences.

With Skynet and surveillance everywhere, unless you could stay hidden forever, you'd eventually be caught.

The fact that the kidnappers hadn't been caught yet proved they didn't dare to commit more crimes.

He didn't need to be so worried. Just needed to be cautious.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now." Lin Jichen wanted to return quickly to avoid worrying Gu Qiuxue.

"I'll give you a ride."

The female officer offered, and Lin Jichen didn't refuse.

Just as they were leaving the statement room, a group of family members rushed in, blocking Lin Jichen from leaving.

It turned out to be the families of the drunkards.

"Wait in the statement room for a bit. I'll handle this."

The female officer said.

Seeing this, Lin Jichen didn't want to argue and turned back to wait in the room.

While waiting, Lin Jichen tried to use his gaming ring to enter the game but was surprised to find that the game was under maintenance...
